Mac Station Store

In rebuilding this store and redesign it for an apple store, we faced a few issues :

• Applying apple concept in design, this design had to define a famous, special brand which has its own style, color and characteristics. so it was a challenge to combine these subjects with environment architectural style.
• Space limitation, large numbers of product and spatial division that our client needed, were uncoordinated in compared with store’s space.
• Time limitation, project’s time limitation made us to choose the materials can run in shorter time.

Limitations :

• Space limitation
• The impossibility of destroying previous materials. (stores wall were covered by imperfect tiles)
• Large numbers of product
• Time limitation

Client Requirements :

• Storehouse
• Shelves and cabinets
• Showcase design
• Coffee area
• Ceiling redesign
• Maintenance space
• Sale counter
• Costumer’s waiting space

Solutions :

• Using exposed concrete to cover all walls, floor and ceiling, that not only defined apple’s simplicity but also reduced cost and time spending.
• Using expose cement has nostalgic sense for Iranian customers of this store.
• Gray color background in combine with main apple’s color creates simplicity and harmony .
• To compensating the space shortage we used the ceiling height to add a balcony and also designed some shelves in indent of showcases.
• Using less variety of materials (exposed cement and MDF boards) compensated the time limitation to some extent.
